Handcraft is very important for me.
It's my passion, my life, my time spent into a finished work.
Sometimes I wish that people could have the equal knowledge and passion, in handicraft, so that they could appreciate it like I do.
I always believe that everyone is creative, we all channel it in different ways.
Also, I strongly believe that every one can learn a handicraft. You just need to find out what works for you.
Even my best friend, who is unbelievable creative (but very short fuse for when it comes to the patience of handicraft, knitting!) knows how to knit and she has come to the conclusion that to knit 

Lovvika gloves is in her area of patience. Not too difficult and not too much time consuming. Now, after some years, she knows how to knit those gloves by heart. ^_^
So, everyone can!
Challenge yourself by learning a handicraft.
And never forget to be creative.

Working on the last crochet details around (what feels forever) the bedspread.
I know that I will be feeling very proud over myself when this project is done. ^_^

So... a other of mine projects have been to get rid of some of my old yarn. (such I have bought but never used, yarn that I wouldn't use for myself anymore or "leftover" from earlier projects.)
Especially colors! I'm recently using more black or darker colors in my creations so what would I do with so much pastel colored yarn.???
My best friend suggested baby clothes, so that's what I'm trying with, and some garment is going to be cardigans. And when it's such a small garment it's easy to try new things!
So I practiced with knitting motifs that I have designed.
(It have never been easy for me to handle! But it's so fun!)
Practice gives experience. ^_^

I am always in my jungle of yarn, working on all my projects. (Right now: 4 work in progress, and maybe 1* amount of dormant!)

I think I need to get some structure in this... or, just fix that later.

My biggest project in this moment (and also for all my years as a craftsman) is a crochet bedspread.
I have seen them before and always thought "DAMN! Too big, too much... not in my lifetime!"
But then, of course, it came a request from a friend. And in that time it was very low on inspiration for me, so I really needed that push!
SO NOW! After a lot of work, and some trouble to find the yarn, I'm done with the lengths I needed to do.
Hopefully there are not to much left. ^_^

My work needed another one of the purse to be able to show in the second store, located in Åkermyntan.
No funny business here (it's the same model of purse), just another kind of yarn and another kind of metal frame.
For those who like it more fluffy. ^_^
